The Perfect Pitch: How to Tell Them What They Want to Hear

Being able to deliver pitches is becoming an increasingly important and sought after skill. Whether it's an informal 'elevator' pitch or a formal pitch to potential investors, knowing how to deliver your killer idea in a concise and impactful way can be the difference between being forgotten and being funded. 

Great pitches appear effortless. It is too easy to assume that delivery is a simple matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who have mastered the art of successful pitching know very well that it is rarely an overnight phenomenon. Great pitches may be written in just a few days – but the delivery is what can make them great. That ability takes years of experience to hone. The stark reality is that delivering pitches is fraught with pitfalls almost guaranteed to unhinge the novice.

This course is designed to equip you both the skillset and the confidence you need to deliver pitches that are IMPACTFUL and MEMORABLE. 

In a similar way to successful pitches, this course aims to be CONCISE and POWERFUL. It is jam packed with actionable tips and tricks. You will learn how to: 

• Be concise and powerful 
• Solve their problem
• Tell them what they want to hear
• Use the correct language
• Grab (and hold!) their attention
• Show your passion and tell a consistent story
• Finish with the CTA that you want
